Pediatric Neuroanesthesia: Evolution of a New Subspeciality

A better understanding of human pathophysiology as well as technological advances has encouraged every specialty of medical science to focus on specialized care instead of generalized approaches. During the last 100 years, a lot of development has been witnessed in the anesthesia practice as a specialty of medicine. Several subspecialties have come up intending to approach a particular set of patients to ensure better care and provide clinical scientists with research opportunities. Cardiac anesthesia, neuroanesthesia, obstetric anesthesia, pediatric anesthesia, pain medicine, palliative care, and critical care medicine are well-established, currently, with a distinct identity.
